GPS jamming forces Finnair to suspend Helsinki–Tartu flights

In late April 2024, two Finnair flights had to abort approaches to Tartu after GPS interference. Finnair then suspended the route for a month. On 8 May 2024, Estonia summoned Russia's chargé d'affaires, and its foreign minister called the jamming 'an element of Russia's hybrid activities'.

Established by. Estonian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, 8 May 2024 (summoning of Russian chargé d'affaires); joint Baltic foreign ministers' warnings (Apr 2024).

Latest. The wider issue was taken to ICAO, which in 2025 found recurring GNSS interference originating from Russia.
